'Blast from the past!' Coco Austin is a bikini-clad 'ring girl' as she shares throwback picture of herself at a cage fight aged just 19

She has no qualms about showing off her famously curvy figure in a skimpy bikini.

And it's clear Coco Austin's body confidence is no recent development - with the reality star sharing a throwback picture of herself at 19.

Dressed in a very 80s high cut bikini - featuring skimpy yellow panels surrounded by black ribbons - the then 19-year-old highlights her hourglass figure in a pair of black heels.

Standing behind the wires of a cage before a fight, grinning Coco holds aloft a sign.

Now 36, Coco still loves to show off her body as much as she did at 19.

Indeed she posed in a waist trainer just last week, cuddling her baby daughter.

Coco and her husband, rapper Ice-T, welcomed their first child together in November.

The couple are obviously besotted with little Chanel, who even has her own Instagram page.

The outspoken blonde recently revealed to Us Weekly that she has almost lost all of her baby weight since giving birth.

In fact, she now believes she is 'too skinny'.

'I don't like being this skinny,' she told the publication. 'I like being thick. But this is the one time in my life that I don't give a damn about my body.'

The reality star gained just 13 pounds while pregnant, which she says her doctor put down to her fit and active lifestyle. 

This isn't the first time Coco has shared a throwback to her younger years.

Last month it was a throwback photo of herself on the cover of her very first magazine at age 18.

'#TB My first mag cover!' Coco, 36, captioned the bikini-clad snap. 'Wow look at them roots! I was 18 here in '97 This is when I slowly started dyeing my hair blonde.

'I called it Peanut Butter back then..This was taken in Greece.'
